LG's Revolutionary Turbo Washers for Fast and Easy Laundry

     Wednesday and Thursday are laundry days. Two days of laundry because one day is not enough. We change our bed sheets and blankets weekly that's why I prefer another day of laundry for heavy fabrics like those I mentioned above. We don't have a washing machine, we have a house helper who does the laundry and it's very hard to wash heavy fabrics using bare hands. Aside from this dilemma, drying of clothes can be a pain now that it's rainy season. So here, I received a good news from LG Electronics Philippines. Read more below why having a washing machine at home gives a lot of convenience especially to moms like me.

    This rainy season, expect your laundry chores to be more challenging as the weather yields more clothes to wash. For busy working people, this means less opportunity to have some R&R, and reduced quality time for the family.

     The good news is that spending a lot of time and efforts in doing laundry can now be avoided, as LG’s washing machines with TurboWash and TurboShot technologies are already here to help you clean your clothes fast and easy.

CFL or LED: Which is the better light for you?

     Because of the ever increasing price of commodities, we all need to be smart in choosing the products that we buy. Quality over quantity. With lots of attributes to consider, which is really better for you? Let’s scale it down.

CFL or LED: Which is the better light for you?

CFL

• CFL also known as compact fluorescent is your mini version of a standard fluorescent light bulb.
• CFL gives lighting efficiency and has been used for decades now and it has graced our homes as it fits perfectly in an ordinary socket without using an adaptor.
• CFLs normally takes a few moments to warm up and reach its full brightness.
• However, CFLs contain a small amount of mercury which normally does not cause any hazard but if the bulb breaks accidentally, that’s where the problem comes in. Mercury has been banned in the medical field due to its harmful effect on human health.
• Regular CFL bulbs lasts up to 6000 hours
• Average energy use per year: 767 KWh/yr
• Average cost in the Philippines: Php 125 to 300

LED

• LED or Light Emitting Diodes was introduce several years back with the promise of lowering your electric bill. 
• According to the study made by Lighting Research Center, LED light bulbs work by bringing together currents with a positive and negative charge to create energy released in the form of light. The result of this is a fast source of light that is reliable and instantaneous.
• LED bulbs also fits an ordinary socket without the need of an adaptor and it bright up as soon as you switch it on.
• LED bulbs is considered good for the environment and are endorsed by green movements.
• LED bulbs generally cost more to buy although manufacturing technologies are lowering these prices as we move along.
• Regular LED lasts anywhere from 20,000 to 50,000 hours.
• Average energy use per year: 329 KWh/yr
• Average cost in the Philippines: Php300 to 800

Equal Factor

     Both serves your lighting needs efficiently. Both fits in sockets of your lamps and fixtures. Meaning, if you don’t consider the chances of your bulb breaking then you would likely choose CFL over LED because of the price difference.

Points to Ponder:

     CFL might cost less but it requires you to buy more bulbs over time whereas LED lights last longer, so even though you’re paying more at purchase, you buy fewer bulbs in the long run.

     Considering the humid weather in the Philippines, we should also consider that CFL bulb emits more heat than LEDbulb, thus, by choosing wisely, you can reduce the heat index in your home.

     Moreover, if you care for the environment, Lower energy consumption decreases carbon dioxide emissions, sulfur oxide, and high-level nuclear waste.

CD-R Kings makes it easier for you to decide

     CD-R King, your one-stop media provider gives you the ease of choosing by taking away the drawback of price difference by making LED bulb available to the General public at a more affordable price.

     This is effort compliments their advocacy in encouraging people to care for the environment during their California e-bike campaign early this year.

     It is also noted that CD-R King offers several choices of LED bulbs with different price range both for personal and industrial use.

Below are some of the choices for regular household use.

Preparing Healthy Baon for Kids with Philips

     Another school year is just around the corner and soon the students will be back to their daily grind. And there’s a lot to look forward to: new classmates, new teachers, new faces, new books, new subjects and many more. Indeed, it’s a new start for everyone. Mothers, for their part, must make sure that everything is in order.

     Aside from ticking off the usual checklist of school supplies and uniform, mothers should also prepare for the back to school baon, ensuring that their kids eat the right meals to keep them healthy in school as they brave another year of education.

     “Mothers must make sure their children get the perfect start. Such preparations include planning in advance for their healthy baon,” says RJ Buenaventura, Philips General Manager for Personal Health.

     He says that the task can be daunting for mommies if they don’t have the right partners. Buenaventura explains, “Indeed, having the right kitchen tools for one’s back-to-school preparations can make a huge difference.”

     “With these tools, both mother and child can definitely breeze through the back-to-school jitters with flying colors,” promises RJ.

It has a unique Rapid Air Technology that enables home chefs to fry with air to make food, which is crunchy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Bread and breakfast 

     Preparing for back-to-school meals begins at home, with breakfast. As the old adage goes, it is the most important meal of the day. For children, fiber is quite important in the morning as it aids digestions and helps relieve and prevent constipation. 

     In line with this, the Viva Collection Toaster is yet another kitchen partner that can help mothers prepare bread for the morning meals of their kids.
